How average is David Anderson playing this tournament -looks like a lainky praying mantis!! Hope he can get out of it....Euro League MVP I expected more (He just nailed a 3 as i wrote this)
I noticed when CJ and Anderson are on our D becomes vulnerable, and our offensive movement slows to a virtual stand still - I don't think they have showed the intensity needed....even today
Much better when Redhage and Mills are on.
I'm just glad that Goorj had the guts to play the young guys and give them a shot as opposed to just playing his favorites who have not been playing so well. Playing newley and redhage in the charity mins agains croatia and argentina showed what they could do.... it was back to 10 pts against argentina after they were on for 2 mins! I hope he continues to play them. Also, I noticed when the ball movement slows it's these guys - mills, newley, redhage that are the ones forcing some offence.
Side note, good to see anstey nail that 3 towards the end....he seems to have lost his touch of late.
All in all, i liked the body language, you could hear the chat and it was good to see some smiles on the court. Sweet dunk on that giant by newley! Less than perfect Defence, although its a million times better than our last few games. I can see the confidence and intensity building, I hope the cobwebs are gone and we can be super competitive in the next match.
SUmming up, given our last 2 games it was a step in the right direction - good confidence building performance.
What do you all think & what did you think of the game?
